*Fueled By Ramen*
Twenty One Pilots The Contract has reached the top of the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart, marking a major milestone for the Ohio-based duo. With this chart-topper, they’ve now claimed their 12th #1 on the ranking, tying them with the Foo Fighters for the fifth-most leaders in the chart’s history, which dates back to 1988.
The lead single, “The Contract,” comes from Twenty One Pilots’ highly anticipated new album, Breach, the follow-up to 2024’s Clancy. Breach is scheduled for release on September 12, 2025.
This achievement places them just behind legendary acts like Red Hot Chili Peppers, who currently hold the record with 15 chart-toppers on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay.
Known for past hits like “Stressed Out” and “Ride,” Twenty One Pilots continue to evolve their sound while maintaining a stronghold on alternative radio.
Fans can expect to hear “The Contract” live when the band embarks on their U.S. tour this fall, set to launch shortly after the album release.
